Wednesday's Top Value MLB Picks

The ball has been flying with multiple players having multi-homerun games yesterday. Will we continue to see a lot of offensive outbursts or pitchers duels as summer begins? Here are your MLB Picks for Wednesday.

Although the
Rockies have been outscored by the Dodgers 10-3 in the first two games of this
series, superstar Troy Tulowitzki has started to show that he’s not a “one
trick pony” and can hit away from Coors Field. “Tulo” is 6 for 10 in his last 3 games with 1 HR and 2
RBI. The bad news for Tulowitzki is that the task doesn’t get any easier as he, and the Rockies, go from facing Zack Greinke to Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 2.93)

In his last
5 starts, Kershaw has allowed 7 runs in 34 innings while winning his last 3
decisions. Kershaw and the Dodgers will get a boost as Matt Kemp has finally
started to hit, and if Kemp can hit like he did in the past, this team will be
unstoppable.

Kemp homered
last night and in the last week, has hit .417 with 2 HR and 7 RBI. A matchup
with Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa (6-5, 4.12) seems quite favorable to the
one time superstar Kemp.

The Dodgers
have an undeniable edge offensively and defensively as the odds indicate. Let’s
lay the heavy juice, and continue our streak of winning MLB picks.

The Padres
have a .214 batting average collectively as a team, and a .274 on base
percentage. That’s as bad as it gets. Let’s face it, if the Padres couldn’t win
a game in remembrance of the late Tony Gwynn at Petco Park, they’re not going
to win against Hernandez. If there was any game to get up for, it would be in
honor of the franchises best player of all-time who passed away well before his
time.

The Padres
simply don’t have the ammunition to compete especially against the best pitcher
in the American League in the last decade. Seattle doesn’t have an above
average offense, but they’re still far superior to that of their opponent led
by Robinson Cano and his .327 batting average and the pitching should hold the
Padres to possibly 2 runs or less.

Runs batted
in is a statistic that is always overlooked, and Jedd Gyorko, who is batting
.162, leads the Padres with 24 runs batted in. Even Seth Smith has been tailing
off as of late as his average has dipped below .300 to
.286. Enough said; Seattle should steam
roll the weak hitting Padres.

Free MLB Pick: Seattle -128 at 5 Dimes (In a game like this, these odds are
actually appealing!)
